Michigan Bicycle Accidents; Detroit, Ann Arbor, Lansing, Flint, Grand Rapids
Now that the weather has turned, its time to pull the bicycles out of the garage, inflate the tires, and go for a leisurely ride. While bike riding is great fun and exercise, it can also be dangerous, even in your own neighborhood. Drivers frequently seem to ignore the rights of bicyclists and causing serious accidents, many times because they are talking on their cell phone or simply not paying attention. The injuries from bike accidents are often very serious and even deadly.
My firm handles a number of Michigan bicycle accident cases every year. In most cases, the biker was just enjoying the weather when a careless driver ran him down. Under Michigan law, the injured biker has two possible cases. The first case is a no-fault insurance case and can file this type of claim even if he did not have an insurance policy or if the victim was a child, because the claim can be made against a number of other insurance policies. The other type of claim is for the personal injuries caused by the negligent driver. These include claims for pain and suffering, scars, disability, and loss of earnings.
To avoid these accident and to minimize injuries, stay off the main roads, wear an approved helmet and refelective clothing, and follow the rules of the road. Hopefully, you’ll have a great summer on two wheels.
